Horses for SaleIntroducing our Horses for Sale
From the start in 2007, Eldhestar’s breeding programme has followed two fundamental ideas. First, we strive to breed well-behaved and well-gaited riding horses that ought to suit most of Eldhestar’s guests. Second, we breed horses with experienced riders in mind, suitable for riding classes and competitions. As our greatest challenge has always been combining well-behaved and reliable horses with soft and simple gaits, a lot of our guests have fallen in love with these fantastic horses and took them home.
You can meet some of our horses for sale on this page. We are currently working on updating this page, so we are still chasing some horses to get a good picture of them or working on filling in the relevant information.

Hugða frá Völlum
Hugða – S2015287084 from Vellir can be a good choice for younger or lighter riders who want to start developing themselves and the horse for future competition. Hugða is a small horse with a big personality. However, she doesn’t feel small when you ride her. From the very start of training, she was eager to learn – calm and composed yet with a lot of energy and drive. She is playful and friendly but has just the right temperament to add a touch of power to her movements. Hugða was trained one winter.
She was broken in for 4-5 weeks when she was 3.5 years. She had a rider on her back a handful of times during this period. When she was 4.5 years, we brought her back inside and trained her for about 6 months, but with a couple of good breaks during this period. She has nice even gaits with good movements – see the photos.* The tölt comes easy and already has good speed. Her trot is good, and with a more strength and balance, it will become exceptionally good. Her canter has good potential, but the pace is untrained. She responds easily to aids without tension or nervousness. She knows the basic dressage exercises and is ready for further training in all gaits.
